Saburovsky Rail Bridges, Railway bridges in Moskvorechye-Saburovo District, Russia
The Saburovsky Rail Bridges are two parallel steel structures crossing the Moskva River, each featuring a distinct arch design and construction approach. They support multiple train tracks for both passenger and freight services to pass over the river.
The first bridge was completed in 1924 with a four-span arch design. A second bridge was finished in 1953 to handle increased traffic demands across the river.
The bridges represent significant achievements in Russian engineering, demonstrating the technological capabilities and architectural methods of different construction periods.
The bridges are viewable from riverbank paths where you can see their structure from multiple angles. The best views come from walking along either riverbank or from vantage points that overlook the crossing.
Between the two working bridges stand abandoned pillars from a construction project begun in 1936 that was never completed. These ruins are a reminder of an interrupted expansion plan that ended during wartime.
